So here is the deal. I have a s14 chassis with a s13 redtop, ka harness, ka ecu (jwt tuned) sr20de distributer, and no coil packs. it runs, trust me it runs well. so i popped the turbo, replaced it. the car sat for almost 2 years. got new plugs and wires. it starts runs for a minute then shuts off. when its warm it will not start. any help would be great...

Help yourself by checking the wiring and performing some basic diagnostics.

well if you just got new plugs and the car does not start when warm then you may have gotten the wrong heat range. when you are running the wrong heat range spark plug the engine will not start when warm. for a low hp engine heat range 6 is what you need. mid range hp calls for heat range 7 and high calls for 8. that is probably your problem. and incase you were wondering ngk iridiums are the best. if that is not the problem check your temperature sensor. when this goes bad your engine will not be able to start warm because the temperature of the engine is not known. therefore more fuel than needed is being dumped in to start the car and overflooding it...hence not starting. by the way where in orlando do you live im probably going to be moving up on or around conroy rd. in a few weeks

advanced auto part is where i get mine...maybe autozone to and napa but im not sure about those two..the part number is bkr7eix that number 7 in there is the heat range. if you are running low hp then change that #7 in the part # with a 6..mid rang hp is 7 high range is 8...dont sell your car ..fix it and kick some a$$

you can get the spark plugs at your local auto parts store. Those are the same type of plugs you'd use in a KA. Remember though to narrow the gap a little.
